I Propose A Toast to You
(Doak Snead)
Seasons slip away
wind up clocks reluctantly run down
since the years have passed like calendar days
man, it's good to have an old friend back in town.
yes, you're the one who taught me how to dream
and to put behind the past mistakes I've made
when you said keep your cool wrapped 'round your rosary
I knew what you were truly trying to say to me.
chorus:
oh and I Propose a Toast to You
old pals old buddies old socks who've stood the miles
oh and I Propose a Toast to You
and here's another mem'ry for the files.
It was Austin, Texas 1983 two girls in skirts down at the Western Best
how the red haired one kept winking back at me
pointing at the buttons on here chest
Those were days of basking in the sun
was it really that long ago
well, tell me what does a feller your age now do for fun
when you've done it all and know all there is to know
you son of a gun.
repeat chorus
